if thats the look you going for you are going to have to fit a narrowed beam aswell , and that has problems too, it reduces the cars turning circle .
I too like that look and thats the route im taking i can live with the drawbacks
Where do I get this? and how much...

Bugger please PM me your banking details for the deposit like we arranged

Ok all jokes aside... Where can I get one of those narrowed beams, and how much do they go for... I dont care about the fact that the'l be a gap in the fender... because as my car stands now i'f I drop it say 2" the tire will catch on the outside of the fender .. so I want the wheel to be inside.

A Narrowed beam is whe the og beam is removed from the car, stripped and cut top and bottom in order to weld in adjusters (avis). its preferable to add adjusters top and bottom. this DONE PROPERLY will result in a +- 2" drop in ride height. if you are running og 165.R15 wheels you already have issues with the tyre rubbing on the inside arch. but is still doable. its worth the small price, and if like me you going to be using 195.55.R15 wheels it looks schweet.
